Teaching methods

Last update: Mgr. Jiřina Tomečková (26.09.2023)

Standardní prezenční výuka,  třikrát týdně (Pondělí, Středa, Pátek)

Standard full-time teaching, offline, 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), not just 1 day per week

Classes are conducted in English and Russian (Czech can be involved, too, if there is at least one Czech speaking student in the group, so we can briefly draw linguistic parallels).

All the students are actively engaged and involved into every lesson and they use Russian from the very first lesson.

Students work altogether, in pairs, in groups of three and individually.

Each lesson and homework contains plenty of grammar and vocabulary exercises both written and oral.

Students translate short sentences into Russian, write short texts. Quizzes, language games, videos are incorporated, too.
